Estate agents do a lot of trade online but some of their websites can look a bit old and be hard to use.

Using the WordPress content management system you can easily build your site with the right real estate themes.

Daily deals, bundles, discount codes, coupons and group buying sites are all huge. Hugely profitable, hugely popular, and, you would think, hugely complicated.

Or you can set up a website that can host PDFs, podcasts, videos, tools, worksheets and downloads where students can track their progress, exchange ideas with others in the course, have AMAs, webinars and all sorts. A real all-round experience.

Spreading your content all around is great for getting seen but less great for getting organised and staying in control.

Growth hacking is a concept that is getting some massive attention and no-one is capitalising on that better and cornering the market more than the website Growth Hackers. CEO and founder Sean Ellis has a long track record in growth hacking before it was even called that – and played an instrumental part in calling it that. With stints at Dropbox, Eventbrite and other big names, he earned his growth hacking stripes.

Zomato is a popular website for finding restaurants and food delivery. Sounds pretty straightforward, right? You go on, enter your area and search for what you fancy, or to check out a particular restaurant.
